[Help] 2 systems on the same network problem.

Archive: 3 posts


Hello,
Me and my brother both have Playstations 3s and the game Call of Duty: Black ops (2 disks),

We both want to play at the same time, however, it seems to always be a battle as to which PS3 holds connection... one system will manage to connect to a game and kick the other D:

I am able to connect to other people fine (so long as my brother isnt online), So it must be our network...

Also, it does the same thing between Call of Duty: Black ops and Modern Warfare 2 BUT no other games...

Does anyone know why this is happening or a way to fix it ???? I would really appreciate help.

I have used google, but the only cases I manage to find were about Cod 4... so I am not totaly sure if it will work.
I tried turning UNPN off in the router but it didnt seem to do anything. Maybe it is some sort of IP clash ? (whatever that is)


Thanks in advance!

Pure speculation but maybe they're refusing the 2 connections because some may use that as a boosting technique.2011-07-02 20:12:00

I have no experience with those particular games, but it might be that the game server needs to make a connection back to your network on a fixed port, and if you only have a single IP address, you can't share that between two PS3s.

Typically the PS3 will ask the router will map an external port to an internal machine at some point using uPnP, so if both PS3s try to do that, then one will be disconnected.

If your ISP allows you to have multiple external IP addresses, then you might be able to configure your router such that each PS3 is addressable on a different IP.
